BAE Systems staff fund donates to Bayb’s Maternity Appeal

We are delighted to announce that the Bayb’s Maternity Appeal has received a £500 donation from Barry Robinson (pictured with appeal co-ordinator Heidi Bowron) on behalf of approximately 300 BAE Systems staff, who pay into the BAE Platers’ Benevolent Fund.

Annual interest accrued on the money saved is shared between retired members and a worthy local cause, with members this year deciding to support the Bayb’s appeal. We are hugely grateful for their support.

Bayb’s Maternity Appeal

The Bayb’s Maternity Appeal launched almost exactly a year ago to fund “extras” for the new South Lakes Birth Centre at Furness General Hospital, with the aim of making it second to none in the country. These ”extras” fall outside the remit of what the NHS is able to fund. Our appeal, which is set to close at the end of next month (March), now stands at £203,106.12 towards its £250,000 target.
